What I think of the game? Simple:
The refs cheated the Colts on more than one occasion.
The Colts defense was a huge disappoint and completely undercovered the middle allowing for ample room for Rivers to throw it underneath for short passes.
The Colts high-end offense was completely shunned and couldn't protect Manning better nor give him time enough to see a good throw. Let alone, the WRs had so much trouble trying to get open.
It was a huge disappoint where the game was decided on a lucky guess of the coin toss and a defense that was at its quicks end. C'mon! Peyton wasn't even given the chance for a comeback. I'd have to say that the lost of the game went completely to the defense.
As for the Chargers. Sure, they got their momentum up, but I don't see where they will get any further. The rest of the AFC holds some teams with pretty tough defense (Minus Dolphins) and I don't think the Chargers will have it that easy. If they struggled to win this game against the Colts who have a mediocre defense then they have a lot to worry about.

The Chargers really deserved to win the game. They played much better, despite Rivers not playing at the top of his game. Tomlinson did pretty well when he wasn't injured, but Sproles played great. Two rushing touchdowns (with one to win the game in overtime), a lot of rushing and receiving yards, and good returns. San Diego's punter played excellent too. Peyton Manning played well, but the Colts didn't establish a run game, so they didn't win...The Chargers actually should have blown them out. San Diego committed two turnovers in the endzone, and were caught off-guard on a trick play that led to an Indy touchdown. But the Chargers deserved to win and move on, but I don't think they'll be able to beat either Tennessee or Pittsburgh.
...And how about the Cardinals? They played great. They actually had a pretty decent rushing attack, and the Warner-Fitzgerald combo was on fire! But the main reason why Arizona won was because of their defense. They were able to stop Turner and limit him all day. They also caused crucial turnovers and forced Matt Ryan to make rookie mistakes.

Ref mistakes happen, deal with it It happen to San Diego all season long. The most godawefull one was week 2 vs Denver. And it doesnt matter Colts overall played not so good, while the Chargers played great, thus deserving the game.

But you're right. The Colts didn't play well overall. Still, the way I see it the Colts had the game but the defense just depleted in the last minute where it really counted.Dude-LAP ...And how about the Cardinals? They played great. They actually had a pretty decent rushing attack, and the Warner-Fitzgerald combo was on fire! But the main reason why Arizona won was because of their defense.

Well the colts offense really needs to step up its running game next season so that it wont have to rely on peyton getting a shot at a comeback. and i agree with you that the defense lost the game for them. as for the refs calls it worked both ways since the chargers got called on big plays in the red zone as well. as for the chargers chances dont forget they played pittsburgh at their home turf and lost by a point..(or a touchdown if you count polamaru's play at the end) so you cant really count them out against tough defenses.

Dudeeeee, you have no idea. The Chargers game had me screaming! (along with a bunch of others at a party hahaha). but yeah, chargers started off so slow in the beginning, though I think it's always obvious when the colts and the bolts play most of the time it is a really close game. Sproles was amazing! heart
The underdogs won the show. =D

Well the Ravens sure deserved to win. They played a great game, and shut down the Dolphins with their brilliant defense. They stopped the run, were not fooled by the wildcat, and really owned Pennington. Baltimore also ran the ball very well, and Joe Flacco played great in his rookie playoff debut.
And the Eagles' victory wasn't pretty, but they deserved to move on. The Philly defense really played well. They limited Tavaris Jackson to a small game, and were able to put a hold on the Vikings' running game for the most part. They forced costly mistakes. McNabb stepped up when he needed to, and completed a few crucial passes to keep their drives going. The Eagles didn't dominate, but Westbrook's 70 yard screen led them to move on.
...So it's set in stone. Divisional playoff round is to follow. Next week's games are:
Chargers @ Steelers
Ravens @ Titans
Cardinals @ Panthers
Eagles @ Giants
